My thoughts exactly. Mozilla should sue.

Ahhhh!!!! I'm very cautious about acepting beta software from Microsoft. It seems to be very buggy in annoying ways. Their beta visual studio really screwed up my computer when I tried to uninstall it. But who knows, maybe the IE team is a little more on their feet. Looks like an attractive interface though.

Isn't good engineering stealing from the best, and inventing the rest? Oh, now I see it, Microsoft didn't invent anything. Shows ya' how powerful the Open Source part of the sofware world is.

If Mozilla sues Microsoft, I hope Opera sues Mozilla.

It looks like it's going to blend in just fine when Microsoft releases Windows longhorn...errr I mean Vista.


It's got that whole "Candy Jewl" look to it.


I think I'll stay with my good 'ol FireFox.

tabbed browsing interfaces all look the same. Yeah no variety what so ever.

I tried IE 7 beta 2 as soon as it poped up on Digg, and I found it faster than IE 6 (thanks to the invention of tabbed browsing) but it's still slower than Firefox and Firefox is slower than Opera (unless your on a Mac, where Safari is the fastest) But Microsoft is taking baby steps, rumors of releaseing the source code, tabbed browsing, what's next? Vista built on a Linux platform?

Check this out, it's pretty intresting http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/a...oughts_on.html
